About a month or so back it was
announced by the NFL that the Ravens would play their 1st international game at Wembley Stadium in a regular
season (Week 3 or Week 4) road game versus the Jaguars. At that point, I made it
my business to somehow fund the trip an entire 8 months in advance of the game & 3 months ahead of the NFL's official schedule release.

*1/21/17 edit: the NFL confirmed the game for Week 3 (Sept. 24th) prior to the official schedule release in April - now I won't have to wait until to attach specific dates to various activities & events*

But already, I've taken care of all of the major trip-related expenses to include a travel package that includes
airfare, hotel accommodations, a River Thames cruise, London Eye ride
& of course... tickets to the big game.

I've been here at my desk since 6:30a researching
additional things to do during the trip - I plan to make the most of it! I still have my international hall pass on ice & I'm so very anxious to get my first passport stamp in September. Now I just need to set aside more spending money & make sure I have enough Ravens gear to wear every day of the trip!
